No it hasn't , My batch mates (92batch NDA) are all serving and none have told me any different , If you have other knowledge do let me know.
The three services are very secular and calling them otherwise is a disservice to them . Religion and politics are rarely discussed by serving personnel .
There are some bad apples in the basket but are too disciplined to speak otherwise. its only when they retire do they act out. A civilian will never understand armys way of life. @Joe Shearer care to contribute?
Goes without saying; I've seen serving officers very, very conscious of staying straightforward and neutral between biases (religion being one of them). You have arch-Hindus commanding Muslims; you have Muslims present during the Dussehra celebrations; you have Sikhs looking after both sorts, and so on. There is usually a SarvaDharmaSthala at every permanent residential installation (=barracks), and it is taken very seriously.
I mentioned in an earlier post the very few examples of bigots I knew about.
